Why choose us?
We’re independent - our focus is you
The continuous investment in our platform and support model that enables our business owners to flourish is the sole focus of the business – and our record sales growth is a testament to this. We don’t have a parent company. We don’t have retail stores which could compete with your business. Simply put, we’re not successful until you are.

You’ll earn money on every travel product and service you sell. You’ll keep 60% of the commission, while we take the remaining 40%. For that 40%, we’ll provide all the support you need to run a successful travel business.
Best of all, your earnings are completely uncapped - so the sky really is the limit. You’re in complete control of your earning potential, so you get out what you put in. Sell what’s right for your customers, with no sales targets to hit.
